    OCI8 is a PECL extension.
    'pecl install oci8'
    If you need more help with that, you can either check Google or
perhaps go directly to the PECL OCI8 page.

You'll need to download and install Oracle Instant client 'basic' and 'devel' RPMs from http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/tech/oci/instantclient/index.html

    # rpm -i oracle-instantclient-basic-11.1.0.1-1.i386.rpm oracle-instantclient-devel-11.1.0.1-1.i386.rpm

If pecl isn't available or fails, follow these steps. Download PHP's oci8 1.3.3 extension from PECL http://pecl.php.net/package/oci8 Build it:

    $ tar -zxf oci8-1.3.3.tgz
    $ cd oci8-1.3.3
    $ phpize
    $ ./configure --with-oci8=shared,instantclient
    $ make

Install it as root:

    # cd oci8-1.3.3
    # make install

Edit /etc/php.ini and add this line: extension=oci8.so If you don't have a DB, download and install Oracle XE database from http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/database/xe/index.html

    # rpm -i oracle-xe-univ-10.2.0.1-1.0.i386.rpm

Configure XE:

    # /etc/init.d/oracle-xe configure
